047: Mastering Team Member Retention with Sarah Fox

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you found yourself in a place where it’s time to grow your team and you don’t know where to start? Or maybe you already have the team but you want to figure out how to make everything work better? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, I was joined by my friend and client Sarah Fox. Sarah is the Founder of the Bookish Fox, a book editing and coaching agency. We explored a few different topics in this episode around building your team (and of course we got into some of my biggest questions around writing a book too). </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sarah shares lessons she’s learned as she’s grown her team, how she’s evolved her standard operating procedure (SOP) process (she swears by the fact that SOPs only take 5 minutes and can save you 5 hours), and obstacles people face when writing their book. If you’re ready to grow your team or have any interest in becoming an author, you’ll definitely want to take notes! </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>What’s in this episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What Sarah does as the founder of a book editing and coaching agency</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The moment when she knew she needed to hire a team</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What she credits to having her team stick around long term</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Lessons she’s learned from bringing on team members</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Her advice to service providers who want to write a book</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Biggest obstacles people face when writing their book</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to
